“…An ACT team typically consists of social workers, mental health therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, vocational specialists, and substance abuse specialists (Allness 1997). Pharmacists have not traditionally been members of the ACT team.…”

“…These are also areas in which a pharmacist can play a major role in the health of the client. The mission of an ACT team is to provide a holistic approach to treatment and recovery-not just focus on the psychiatric disorder (Allness 1997). A clinical pharmacist is educated in the treatment of these cooccurring disease states and could once again be a great resource for the team and their clients.…”

“…Researchers Arnold Marx, M.D., Leonard Stein, M.D., and Mary Ann Test, Ph.D., moved hospital ward staff out into the community in an effort to provide continuity of care after hospital discharge. Results proved beneficial and the concept of ACT was formed (Stein and Test 1980;Allness 1997;Marshall and Lockwood 1998).…”

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a community-based treatment approach intended to help in the recovery and rehabilitation of clients with severe and persistent mental illnesses. A clinical pharmacist is not routinely a member of an ACT team. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the role of a pharmacist by reviewing recommendations and interventions made by a clinical pharmacist on an ACT team. Information was gathered through a chart review of clients at Community Alternatives in St. Louis, Missouri. All recommendations and interventions performed by the clinical pharmacist between February 1, 2008 and July 31, 2008 were recorded. A total of 341 interventions and recommendations for 29 clients were completed by the pharmacist. Medication management, medication adjustment recommendations, and mental health assessments were the most frequent interventions. This study suggests a clinical pharmacist can be beneficial to an ACT team and provide diverse services to both clients and other team members.

“…En général, les difficultés liées au remboursement des frais d'opé-ration des programmes PACT par le Medicaid freinent la généralisation du modèle original à une large échelle (Allness, 1997;Torrey, 1997). Bien que quelques États utilisent différentes stratégies administratives pour financer les programmes de suivi intensif à partir des subsides fé-déraux, 180 programmes PACT sur 340 sont concentrés dans les États de taille moyenne du Michigan et du Wisconsin et dans quelques petits États tels que le Rhode Island, le Delaware et le New Hampshire (Deci et al, 1995 ;Meisler et Gonzales, 1997 ;Allness, 1997).…”

L'auteur propose une synthèse des éléments essentiels qui permettent de différencier la gestion de cas du suivi intensif dans le milieu pour les personnes souffrant de troubles mentaux graves. En situant le développement de ces deux approches dans leur contexte social, l'auteur identifie les points de repère qui permettent de les distinguer à la fois au plan conceptuel et pratique. Cet exercice permet de dissiper la confusion répandue dans les écrits et d'outiller les cliniciens afin qu'ils puissent identifier les modèles les plus appropriés pour répondre aux besoins de leur clientèle. Cela implique de prendre en considération les caractéristiques du système dans lequel ils interviennent car sa configuration exerce une influence considérable sur leur travail.The author proposes a synthesis of the essential elements to distinguish Case Management from Assertive Community Treatment with people suffering from severe mental illness.
